Supposedly invented by Adam West for the 60s Batman show, the Batusi (a not-so-clever pun on the Watusi) weaseled it’s way into pop culture thanks to it’s appearance in Pulp Fiction as “the dance John Travolta and Uma Thurman perform at the Jackrabbit Slim’s dance contest”. Batusi definitely sounds better than that mouthful.
Inspired by Mike Allred’s cover (shown above) for his DC Solo issue, Doing The Batusi is a fun blog that redefines “niche subject” by featuring sketches and commissions by comic book artists and cartoonists featuring a character of their choice (only rule: not Batman), well, doing the Batusi.
It’s only just starting out, but damned if it’s not fascinating as all hell.
